Match of Prismatic Powders™ ESS-10171 Zinc Primer *

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish for ESS-10171 Zinc Primer, but a cured existing part can still read differently from a fresh repair. Gloss, texture, age, weathering, cure, substrate, and batch variation can all affect how the finish looks side by side.

If the match has to blend into an older coated part with tight visual tolerance, an existing part or approved sample is usually the safer reference than the color name alone.

Yes. A match of Prismatic Powders ESS-10171 Zinc Primer is commonly used as a touch-up reference for chips, scratches, rub marks, handling damage, transport damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, field modifications, drilled holes, cut edges, and missed spots in the original finish.

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, which makes it a practical choice when you need to repair a coated part rather than recoat the entire assembly. For the best result, match the repair area to the surrounding finish conditions before ordering the format you want.

Yes. A match of Prismatic Powders ESS-10171 Zinc Primer is often ordered for ancillary parts and hardware such as screw heads, rivet heads, plastic snaps, trim plugs, end caps, clips, covers, brackets, and similar items that need to coordinate with a coated assembly but cannot be finished in the same original process.

In these cases, MyPerfectColor is used to match the visible color and finish of the surrounding Prismatic Powders coating so the added part blends as closely as practical with the rest of the project.

Not always. Even when the ESS-10171 Zinc Primer color reference is correct, a liquid touch-up can still read differently next to a cured powder-coated part because gloss, texture, film build, substrate, and age all affect how the finish appears.

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, but that does not eliminate the visual differences that come from the original cured coating process. If you are matching a small area beside an existing part, it is best to treat the reference color as the starting point and account for the condition of the installed finish.

A match of Prismatic Powders ESS-10171 Zinc Primer is available in MyPerfectColor touch-up paint, custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and other formats for coated-finish touch-up and ancillary-part matching.

Choose the format based on the job: spray paint is often used for larger visible areas, while paint pens or brush-in-cap bottles are often better for small chips, edges, hardware, and detail work. If you are unsure, match the format to the size of the repair and the part you are coating.

MyPerfectColor matches the Prismatic Powders ESS-10171 Zinc Primer by scanning the sample with state of the art spectrophotometer and color matching software. The color match is refined through an iterative process to improve the match accuracy of both the color and sheen. MyPerfectColor has an extensive pigment library of over 100 different pigments that include organic and inorganic dispersions, aluminum, bronze and mica-based metallics and pearlescents, and fluorescent pigments. MyPerfectColor can achieve any sheen between flat and gloss. Note that difficult to match colors like metallics, pearlescents, and fluorescents will not match precisely - MyPerfectColor will get as close as possible, but the quality of these matches will not be as good due to the inherent limitations of matching these types of effect colors.
